In this episode, Emmy B interviews author, blogger, and animal rescue advocate Cara Sue Achterberg on her newest novel "Blind Turn." Cara draws on her own experiences and grows along with her readers' on life's journey of growth, forgiveness, and redemption. The story is sober and chilling - we know it's fiction, yet the story of a teen charged with vehicular homicide is something far too real. Don't worry- we kept all the spoilers out.

Brief Summary: After a texting a driving accident threatens to ruin a life and disrupt a community, lessons of friendship and forgiveness mix with fear and guilt, as a sixteen year old girl grows up in a single terrible instant.
